[Davey-T]

Anyone logged on here using Chrome ? just had to use IE as Chrome just keeps the waiting thingy going round and round

Yep, using it at the moment with no problems.

It's probably just being a bit slow telling Google what web pages you're visiting

Have you tried logging off and on again ? Left it for ten minutes with no luck, wish it would work typeing's a nightmare in IE. It was working OK before I logged off .

I always use Chrome and find it helps to speed things up a bit (and stop freezes) if you clear your browsing history.

Yes it can get a bit bogged down trying to work out what ads it should be showing you

Well it's still not working today so guess it's an uninstall / reinstall jobby.

I had to update Google Chrome on my work phone earlier this morning.

[Davey-T]

Well uninstalled it now it won't reinstall so I guess it's goodbye Chrome

Just rolled back windows to before the last "critical update", reinstalled Chrome and now it works, perhaps it's a Microsoft plot to make me use IE

Cured all my problems re. Chrome by installing *Adblock Plus* !!

I think there is an underlying problem. I suspect the proliferation

of embedded advertising videos (even amidst text) at some sites. 

Coincidentally, my "normal" internet use resulted in a surcharge

from my ISP last month. (I close down embedded videos anyway).

The irony is that the biggest offender (advert and spyware count)

is a well known news site which ever castigates "the rest of us" --

the world(?) for trolling, invasive surveillance, corporate greed...

Doesn't Adblock plus allow 'premium' adds through? Basically companies that pay to not get blocked.

Auto play Facebook movies are a terrible bandwidth hog, not that I look at FB much anyway.

Certainly appears there is a huge (HUGE as in 200 pages) ASCII list of exemptions... 

But it seems to have cured the tendency of Opera to become unusable after a

few page views of a certain website. Either way, only installed "recently" and

over 5000 ads blocked now. Seems fairly non-destructive in the trying.
